One Month

Don't you just love little feet? Our baby girl turns one month today. What an incredible blessing. She's healthy. And changing by the minute. It has been the most emotionally fulfilling, totally exhausting month of my life. Seeing our little family grow like this is something I could never fully imagine or appreciate until it was our turn. We thought it would be just like life with Buby, plus 1. Not so. It's so much MORE. More appts. More diapers. More tears. More exhaustion. More delicate balancing act. WAY more love. More smiles. More sweet hugs + kisses. More of everything good in life. If that's possible.

I could stare at our Bleu all day long. Just like I do Buby. She amazes me to no end. This whole newborn thing amazes me. You'd think we'd be all "been there, done that" about it. But it's all fresh again. I realize now no two babes are alike. And the experience of pregnancy, birth and coming home was just as magical second time around, with an added layer of coolness getting to see it all through Buby's eyes. He loves his Nola Bleu.

My faves so far: Her big brown eyes and little button nose. Her long fingers and baby soft thighs. Her fuzzy hair and sweet smile. Her long-sleeve white onesies and teeny little hats. Her delicate lashes and pouty lips. The way she nurses. The way she sleeps. The way she rests on your chest and lifts her head up high to see your face. The way she places her hand under her cheek and crosses her feet. Happy Birthday baby girl.
